About This Quote
In this quote, the speaker is talking about the souls that have been taken from our world. They may live out their days in a place that looks just like their former homes, but they are not the same. They have been changed by what they have experienced. When they were alive, they were light.
Now, they are more dark and they have been made to feel different from everyone else. While in the world, they were chosen for a special purpose, in their afterlife it is a different story.
